Comments on: Paraguay 2 – 0 Brazil: The Face of Mediocrity http://brazil.theoffside.com/cbf-stuff/paraguay-2-0-brazil-the-face-of-mediocrity.html Brazilian Football League Blog Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:15:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Josimars http://brazil.theoffside.com/cbf-stuff/paraguay-2-0-brazil-the-face-of-mediocrity.html#comment-7555 Josimars Thu, 19 Jun 2008 02:55:20 +0000 http://brazil.theoffside.com/cbf-stuff/paraguay-2-0-brazil-the-face-of-mediocrity.html#comment-7555 I only hope you guys that are saying I hate Diego watch the Argentina Brazil match. Diego came on as a sub and was himself substituted. Brazil misses Kaka and Ronaldinho. They lack invention in the final third of the field. This is the only reason why Dunga is able to keep his job. I like the warrior mentality though. The tackling all over the pitch but that only cannot win matches especially when teams only come to defend and hit you on the counter attack. Argentina came to get a point and they succeeded. I only hope you guys that are saying I hate Diego watch the Argentina Brazil match. Diego came on as a sub and was himself substituted.

Like, didn't he have a voice in putting that "team" together? It might be humorous, if it were not quite so tragic. I'm still amazed! Yet, interestingly, Ecuador (underdog of two goals) tied Argentine, 1-1. And Chile was able to win at 11,000 foot altitude? Quite a weekend!

Check on all lines... attack, midfield and defense. There are quality players. Santacruz is about to be transferred to Man Utd. for millions of euros. Salvador Cabañas was voted best South American striker. The defense is fantastic with Julio Caceres who is a star for Boca Juniors. Midfielder Enrique Vera is on the Copa Libertadores finals with his team. LDU. Stop blaming Dunga and praise Paraguay.

I'm very happy of course. I thought Paraguay had a much superior game and Brazil was really lacking in ideas. It's surprising to find out we have better strikers than Brazil does! Brazil really needs to work out their squad. Adriano was useless up front. Where was Elano? I was a the match yesterday. I’m very happy of course.

No invention, creativity; slow, ponderous passing with no purpose or attacking flair; passing for passing sake; Badly missing kaka, or a fully fit and motivated ronaldinho and the cutting edge of Ronnie!!.

Wow, amazing, not even the so-called powerful players from Real Madrid could manage a victory? Jzlim11, can you repeat louder your statement "this is the worst Brazil team I've ever seen before." You are on target. I agree. It's been years since Brazil lost control of their DOMAIN and almost everybody beat them. Don't you think Brazilian Coach should call other players not that "popular with a big marketing bill?"

But how about the useless and aging defensive players like Luisao, Juan, Lucio, Josue, Mineiro, Gilberti SIlva, Maicon and Gilberto? Who else can replace them?? The Brazilian League don't have any more young, good, talented and disciplined first team players????? I agree the team does miss Kaka and Ronaldinno.
